Would you look at their hats! If you want to have fun with your fedora, take a page out of their book!
Forgive me for not crediting the names of the artists shown above. If you know who painted what, please do share as you always do.
Gevalt! Egad! First thing that came to mind when I saw Isadore with his fedora and black and white gettup I was immediately taken back to my yeshiva days when walking around town, a bochur had to have his hat and jacket on or else! He told me they inspired his lewk….I hope bochurim are not carrying purses and I know no rosh yeshiva would allow such sandals sans socks, but this is one I had to share with ya’all.
Giving you both because I cant figure out which one to give ya… I like the first because you can see the collar better. I like the 2nd because the image is overall clearer.
The shot I aways love, The 1st shot. Before he noticed me creepin up.
Theres something special about a hat thats pinches are a bit off centered. The Late Lubavitcher Rebbe O.B.M. Menachem Mendel Schneerson wore his fedora like so. Probably from taking it on and off by the crown. Eventually the pinches get off set. Not sure if thats what happened with this straw hat but I'd like to think so.
Marcus stays fancy. Love how his DB jacket fits so well. A trend I see and dont love is fellas having their shirt cuff rolled over the blazer or sweater, HOWEVER, I like how Marcus does it. I think its simply cuffed because its long and he doesnt want it to extend too much, I dont think he tried to really expose it expose it and cuff it over the blazer… You can see what I/m saying on his left cuff, how it isnt really how the kids are doing it.
Nick Sullivan of Esquire Magazine looking smart also in a cotton DB jacket.
Thomas Oatman of New Republic Clothiers
And a good DB lewk from Antonio Azzuolo. His sweaters as usual, were pretty awesome.
Oh how I love this man. He shakes his head and says, sure take my picture if you want, I do need a haircut though. And sure enough, I found out he had gotten his hair cut later that day! Sorry Jerry, I’d have waited but needed this early morning photo.
Colin Eisler says “sure, take my picture, but you should come with me to the steps outside of my werk. My wife was photographed there for a fashion magazine once” I went along for the walk, but the lighting wasn’t werking for me. He also let me know all his clothing are from various second hand stores around NYC. What I would do for a DB khaki suit…
Probably the coolest kid I shot the entire Fashion Week in NY. Abdoul is so cool and a true modest individual. I saw him at a few presentations I attended and of course wanted to shoot him at each one. He was cool with it, but I get super nervous when I love someones lewk and know the person is shy for lack of a better word.
